The company I’m looking at for my installation, charges 20K for the Stillen supercharger and transmission rebuild AND 30K for the FI Twin Turbo & transmission rebuild. 550 RWHP for the supercharger & 700 RWHP for the Turbos. Should I spend the money or just buy something else? If I buy something else, I’ll lose money on the car (of course)

Thanks for the input!
Find a new shop. Those prices are hilarious, and their quoted power numbers have no basis in reality.

Also, are you ok with throwing 20k in parts at a car, keeping another 5-10k in reserve at all times in case something happens, and then getting pennies on the dollar when you try to sell your Z?
Rusty and Memphis370Z like this.

The FI TT kit with supporting mods and tranny upgrade, the price is about right.

Not if they're claiming 700whp with that. It's either the correct price for ~550whp, or way light for 700whp.
